Congratulations Karen aka CardCountess, this week's featured stamper chosen by Julie. I was inspired by this: Springtime Butterfly by CardCountess at Splitcoaststampers
Changed colors, image, and size of card, didn't split my panels. I stamped 4 different black inks on my image first and then colored hoping nothing was going to smear. I did not wrap my ribbon around, just used snail to anchor it and pulled some threads at each end to fray it a bit. Then diecut it and popped up with some dimensionals.
Karen you have a fun and interesting gallery with lots to inspire. I hope you enjoy your week in the spotlight!

What a warm card! I really like that you made the sentiment part so big. Somehow it dazzles while drawing attention to the plaid background. I like it!

A perfect image and sentiment for Christmas - and so wonderfully colored! I like the enamel dots, they are the essential accent to your fun and lovely card.

Shirl, your deckled circle die is a wonderful way to showcase your cute little Christmas truck and sentiment! Your rustic ribbon and plaid dsp coordinate beautifully!

Awesome nostalgic scene! A reminder of our youth going out to get a fresh tree. The truck with fantastic coloring and especially the headline add up to Christmas cheer. Merry Christmas...

I love this card and it's charm. That truck looks inviting to get inside and go home! I grew up in northern IN, in Amish country. so ... this plaid, that image.. it's all beautiful to me : ). Thanks so much for the kind comments on my cards and the well wishes for this new year, for better health in this household. HUGS to you and all our best to you and yours! Teresa in AZ
